Key takeaways

St John's PCC works under Church of England doctrine and directs its giving to Christian mission and to serving the poor, so a request only fits if the work shares that purpose.
Its stated priority is around the world, which describes where it puts its priorities and does not by itself decide who may apply.
Typical grants in the annual report run from £60 to £8,400, with a median of £3,000, so a modest request sized within that band is more realistic than a large one.
No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown for getting in touch and ask whether the work fits before writing a full request.
Mission agencies are agreed by the PCC, and the annual report does not say how timing or competition works, so expect the decision to rest with the PCC.
